Brossasco

Brossasco thrives within the deep, alpine folds of the Varaita Valley, where a cool mountain microclimate directly shapes its agricultural output. This distinctive terroir governs 18 protected denominations overlapping this territory. Chief among these local specialties is the Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a prized bean cultivated across a selective zone of 247 municipalities. The valley's fresh, flowing waters and high-altitude breezes provide the ideal environment for this legume's delicate texture. Alongside it, alpine cheeses like Raschera DOP and Bra DOP find their ancestral roots here, capturing the raw, grassy essence of these Piedmont slopes.
